Description

Toshihiko Izutsu's Sufism and Taoism offers a deeply learned comparison of two influential philosophical systems. By examining the metaphysical thought-systems of Sufism and Taoism, Izutsu reveals striking similarities between these historically unrelated traditions. The book begins by analyzing key concepts in Islamic philosophy, before turning to an examination of parallel ideas in Taoist thought. Only after laying bare the fundamental structure of each world view does Izutsu embark on a comparative analysis, seeking to uncover patterns and connections that transcend historical boundaries. This second edition of Sufism and Taoism is now available in English, featuring new material and offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of Eastern philosophical traditions.
